The Ex-Boyfriend Of Billionaire Investor Vinod Khosla's Daughter Has Been Charged With Threatening To Publish Naked Photos Of Her

Douglas Tarlow, a 27-year-old who dated the daughter of
billionaire investor Vinod Khosla, has been charged with
extortion.

Khosla is the
founder of Sun Microsystems and venture capital firm Khosla
Ventures, and he is worth an estimated $1.5 billion. Tarlow and
his daughter, Nina, dated from 2008 - 2010 while they were
students at Stanford University. During that time, Nina sent him
naked photos and videos via text or instant message, which Tarlow
allegedly threatened to make public if the Khoslas didn't pay him
off.
The Smoking Gun obtained the affidavit; we first saw the news
on
Valleywag.

According to
the March 3 court filing, Tarlow was employed by Nina's mother
Neera's nonprofit and was promised a salary of $125,000. He was
fired in early 2012. In mid-2012, Tarlow allegedly complained
that he was owed more money by the company and started making
threats. That's when the extortion seems to have started.

From the affadavit:

"On September
3, 2012, [victim] received a series of text messages ... At
Approximately 5:12 PM, the victim received a text message
containing one nude photograph that she provided to Tarlow during
their relationship. Almost immediately following the receipt of
the photographs at 5:12 PM, victim received the following text
messages: 'Did you give out my #!?' and 'Shall I call you Paris
[Hilton]?'"

Two hours
later, Nina Khosla allegedly received three more nude pictures of
herself with the following message: "Expect to see those online
in 24 hours. f--- you."

A few days
later, Tarlow allegedly emailed the Khoslas, stating that the
company still owed him $72,000.

In October,
with the issues still not resolved, Nina Khosla received the
following texts from an unknown number.

"Hey paris,
playboy or penthouse?...Either way, and I mean this for real.
please don't try to commit suicide." [all sic]

"Everything is
going to reddit. From there, it will be impossible to remove from
the internet forever. Go find some blad and talk about how it
feels so sharp on your skin you f---ing c--t. F--- YOU."

Tarlow told
Khosla the messages weren't sent by him. The Khoslas contacted
the FBI, which allegedly found a number of alleged links between
the messages and Tarlow. The investigator wrote in a federal
court affidavit,"Notably, Tarlow was the
subscriber of the Internet account used to send all four
[anonymous] messages threatening to release the photographs" and
"there is probable cause to believe that Tarlow was the sole
communicator of all messages to [the victim] and her
family."

Tarlow was
arrested last week, the Smoking Gun says. Business Insider
reached out to Tarlow but did not immediately hear
back.
